anticonvulsive

1. p-Hydroxybenzaldehyde (p-Oxybenzaldehyde) shows an inhibitory effect on the GABA transaminase to contribute to an antiepileptic and anticonvulsive activity, and its inhibitory activity was higher than that of valproic acid, a known anticonvulsant.

Vanillyl Alcohol (3-Methoxy-4-hydroxybenzyl alcohol) possesses anti-angiogenic, anticonvulsive, anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidant, neuroprotective, and anti-nociceptive activities. Vanillyl alcohol can effectively inhibit the cytotoxicity and improved cell viability in 1-methyl-4-phenylpyridinium (MPP+)-induced MN9D dopaminergic cells, it also can attenuate the elevation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels, decrease in the Bax Bcl-2 ratio and poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase proteolysis.

Withaphysalin R (compound 5), a withanolide derived from the Solanaceae family, possesses an ergosterol-based steroid ester structure. This compound exhibits notable activities such as cytotoxic, immunosuppressive, antitumor, anti-inflammatory, anticonvulsive, and antioxidant effects [1].
